"Inside, Outside - Outside, In" Exhibition

Lesley Heller Workspace

This event has ended.

Inside, Outside - Outside, In highlights the work of four artists Dawn Clements, Theresa Ganz, Björn Meyer-Ebrecht, and Fran Siegel, who are informed by the space and structure found in architecture and nature. Through an organic process of cutting, pasting, drawing and taping each artist takes the visible and transforms it into a psychological representation of space.

Taken from an aerial perspective, Fran Siegel’s drawings investigate the complexity of urban landscapes and structures. Using cross hatching done with pen and graphite, combined with washes of ink, the work has a map like quality. Abstract spaces and shapes are formed by a process of cutting and pasting, and through collage, forms overlap and reclaim space.

Familiar patterns in nature are amalgamated with shapes found in architecture in the work of Theresa Ganz. New structures are created by cutting up photographs of the natural environment which are then layered and assembled into low sculptural reliefs. Each form becomes an invitation: a tree branch becomes an arch, a wreath of leaves becomes a portal. “My work becomes an expression of cognitive dissonance-it comes from a desire for, and a wariness of, a dark, magical forest.”
